A woman is murdered and thrown into the Androscoggin River In the late summer of 1990, the life of 18-year-old Angela Thomas was tragically cut short, leaving behind a daughter and a case that continues to baffle investigators. Thomas, a young woman who had faced struggles with drug addiction, was last seen alive on September 22, 1990, at an apartment on Knox Street in Lewiston, Maine, in the company of two other individuals.
This would be the last known sighting of her before her untimely death.
Five days later, on September 27, 1990, a worker at the Central Maine Power dam on the Androscoggin River in Brunswick made a grim discovery. The body of Angela Thomas was found in the water. It was apparent that she had been the victim of a violent crime, with reports indicating she had been badly beaten before being thrown into the river.
The investigation into her death was immediately launched, with the Maine State Police treating it as a homicide. Despite their efforts, the case grew cold over the years, and no arrests have ever been made in connection with her murder. The identities of the two individuals she was last seen with have not been publicly released, and there have been no named suspects. The case remains open, a lingering mystery for law enforcement and a source of unresolved grief for her family.
